greater or equal to 20 %

- Adequate renal function (serum creatinine below or equal to 2.0 mg/dl)

visits and able to perform the quality of life assessment

- Written informed consent of the patient

Exclusion Criteria:

- Patients who receive curative intended chemotherapy

investigational form of erythropoietin (e.g. gene-activated erythropoietin, novel
erythropoiesis stimulating protein)

- Radiation therapy during the study, radiation therapy induced anemia

- Therapy with cyclosporine

- Chemotherapy which causes predictable treatment with peripheral-blood progenitor
therapy, e.g. G-CSF

hypersensitivity to mammalian-derived products

- Pregnancy, breastfeeding women or women not using adequate birth control measures

- Patients who participate simultaneously in another clinical study or who have
participated in a study in the month preceding the start of this study or previously
randomized to this study (except studies with approved medications in an approved
indication, with an approved dosing regimen including approved treatment
combinations)
